' FLY-NET.

To all whom itma z concern: I Be it known that I, WILLIAM ERDMANN,

a citizen ofthe United .States, residing in. Milwaukee, 1n the countyof. Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin,' have invented new and useful Improvements in Fly-Nets ofzwhich the following is a description, reference belarlydirected to the means for securing the transverse cords or straps to the longitudi nal bars. t V 7 One of the objects of this invention is to provide a fly net in which the transverse cordsare interposed between double thicknesses of the longitudinal bars and looped and sewed therebetween by linesof stitches. A further object of the invention is to provide a fly net in which the transverse V cords are securely bound to'the longitudinal 7 bars in a simple and direct manner to form a strong and durable connection which is not liable to come apart.

With the above, and other objects in view the invention consists of the fly net and its parts and combinations as set forth in the claims, and all equivalents thereof.

In the accompanying drawing in which the same reference characters indicate the same parts in all of the views: Figure 1 is a top view of a fragment of a fly net embodying the improvements, portions of the longitudinal bars being removed to show manner of fastening the cords to the bars; Fig. 2 is a similar view of a modified form of fly net; Fig. 3 is a similar view of an-' other modified form of fly-net; Fig. 4 is a similar view of another form of fly net; Fig. 5 is a similar view of still another form of'fly net; and Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view of one of the longitudinal'bands shown in Fig. 5. v 7

Referring to the drawing "the numeral 5 indicates the two part longitudinal bars of a fly 'net. to which transverse cords or strands 6 are connected. The two part 1011- gitudinal bars each consists of an upper and a lower strip of fabric between which thetransverse cords extend. The cords are double looped or looped back and forth as indicated by the numeral 7and extend from.

one longitudinal bar to another'in straight parallel lines and are securely connected to Application filed September 24, 1910. Serial No. 583,596..

I In the modified form the transverse cords or strands- -9- extend back bars with the" loops of the cords extending between the two portions of each bar and positioned to alternate with-the loops of other. cords connected to other longitudinal The loops of these cords are of V- shape in order to closely-fit between adjacent loopsand to givethe appearance'of the continuity of the transverse cords in extend- 1 ing from one side of the net to the other.

The modified form shown in Fig. 3 is somewhat similar to the last mentioned form with the exception that the transverse cords 10 extend at an angleand cross over each other and form a net like structure with meshes. v r Both modlfied forms are connected to and between the portions of the longitudinal bars by the lines ofstitches8 .in the same manner as described with reference to the principal form.

, In the modified form shown in Fig. 4 the lower members of the two part longitudinal bars 11 are provided with perforations 12 and the transverse cords extend through the perforations and are loo'pedaround the side edges 13 of. the bands. The upper members of the bars extend'over the looped portions .and a line of stitching 14 passingthrough both members of the longitudinal bars and with the exception that the longitudinal bars are formed of three members sewed tolower member 16 is provided to cover the perforations and the looped portions of the transverse cords extending from the intermediate member. 7 V V V i gether by the lines of stitching 15.

2. A fly net, comprising pairs of longitudinal bars, one of said bars of each pair being provided With cord openings adjacent their edge portions, transverse cords extending from one pair of bars to another and between the bars of a pair and through the openings of one of the bars and around one side and both edges of the bar pro- .vided with the openings, said portions of the transverse cords extending between the bars of a pair of bars and partly around one a of the bars forming double looped portions, and lines of stitches extending longitudi nally of and through both bars of each pair of bars and through portions of the loops to bind the parts together.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
